And on this day, at this very second I stand in front of the world and I say I do take you as my wedded husband! I love you!

It is never too late to tie the knot right? 86-year-old Ijaw leader and former Information Minister, Edwin Clark has married popular medical doctor, Abisola Sodipe Akindeko, 53, on Sunday March 17. In honour of this, two ceremonies were organised, one at his home in Apapa and the other at the bride’s home at Okupe Estate in Maryland, online reports hold.

Recall:

Akindeko has reportedly lost two of her children Adeife and Akinola Sodipo-Akindeko during an alleged robbery attempt on the convoy of Senator Iyabo Obasanjo-Bello in 2003. But five years later, Akindeko told reporters that her children were not killed by armed robbers but by hired assassins whose target was Senator Iyabo Obasanjo-Bello.“They were not armed robbers,” she said. This seemed to have been a huge story back then… Well it is good to know she has finally love again to apeace the void.

A mile stone in the history of justice was marked when the Congolese rebel leader Bosco Ntaganda turned himself in at the US embassy in Kigali, Rwanda. He asked to be sent to the International Criminal Court, where he faces charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Here is how Ntaganda looked during his first appearance before judges at the International Criminal Court in the Hague on March.

A 16-year-old boy, who was kidnapped on his way to school by rebel troops loyal to Ntaganda earlier in March 2013, told Human Rights Watch that Ntaganda had personally authorized the distribution of weapons and sent him to the front lines during the recent infighting between opposing factions of Ntaganda’s latest rebel group, the M23. Ten of his schoolmates who were also forcibly recruited died on the front lines.

The boy expressed relief about Ntaganda’s arrest, saying, “Now he can no longer come back to where I live and take me from school and take me to war.”

“The atrocities by forces under Bosco Ntaganda’s command have affected thousands of Congolese in eastern Congo for over a decade,” said Ida Sawyer, Africa researcher at Human Rights Watch. “Their voices shine a light on how deeply these abuses scarred the nation and how important Ntaganda’s expected trial is for those who have been harmed and who seek justice.”

After over a decade with various rebel groups in eastern Congo, Ntaganda was integrated into the Congolese army as a general under a 2009 peace agreement. In 2012, Ntaganda led a mutiny and helped create a new Rwanda-backed rebellion, the M23, which battled Congolese and UN troops in eastern Congo until peace talks began in December.

This was rumoured all over twitter yesterday but felt I should confirm this before writing about; so yes it is true and certain: Senate David Mark, presented this expensive car (2013 Corvette sports car) as a gift to the African Queen singer, 2Face Innocent Idibia at his wedding which took place yesterday in Dubai. 2Face, who share the same tribe as David Mark’s tribe, which is the Idoma tribe in Benue State, was reportedly trilled and grateful to receive such from one of the most respectful dignitary personality in the country: Nigeria.

The Senate President, David Mark

Lets not forget during his traditional wedding in Akwa-Ibom about two weeks ago, the governor of his wife’s State, Annie Macaulay, Gov’ Godswill Akpabio, presented them with two SUVs and promising to sponsor 29 couples to the Dubai wedding. This couple is truly blessed and may God continue to shower them with more blessings. See more pictures after the cut….
